Abstract

A recording system for relatively easily and rapidly performing a registration adjustment in a recording device having a plurality of recording units which record divided recording images on the same recording medium. The recording system causes each of recording units (108A-108F) to record a registration adjustment pattern. Based on the recorded pattern, an inter-unit adjustment that is a registration adjustment among the plurality of recording units and an intra-unit adjustment that is a registration adjustment among the plurality of recording heads in each recording unit are performed. In the inter-unit adjustment, the same adjustment value is simultaneously added to all other recording units on a side of a compared recording unit when a recording position of the compared recording unit is corrected, the compared recording unit being compared with a reference recording unit, the reference recording unit being one of the neighboring two recording units. As a result of the inter-unit adjustment, an average value is calculated from a maximum value and a minimum value of adjustment values of all recording units to correct and reset the adjustment values of all recording units by the average value.
